International Nickelodeon Thread Part 17

[zakawer2]

I hope someone can rip the French, Italian and German dubs of the Shimmer and Shine season 1 songs off of Paramount+ and the Dutch, Spanish (ES), Portuguese (PT), Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Polish, Finnish, Hungarian, Romanian and Czech dubs off of SkyShowtime since that is the only place where you can still watch them. Meaning they aren't available for free.
The ones i would like the most are the magic carpet song, the mistake song, and any songs from the pilot movie.

Maybe if I cared more about that show, I might have done it. But alas, I simply do not have all that much interest.

That said, you must be 18, which means you might finally be old enough to pay for a streaming service. If you have a PC, you might be able to record the audio off of the streaming service. I did that with some audio files taken from SpongeBob SquarePants on SkyShowtime myself.

@BloggerHU I'm not an expert in terms of Hungarian tonalites at all, but the voiceover here sounds kind of... weird? Unusual? The pronunciations don't feel very natural to me, could this be an AI clone of Csaba Tokaji?


The current English announcer is also rumored to be AI by some, due to repetitive and undynamic pronunciation

And the Czech track got another new announcer, whose pronunciation seems undynamic as well, at least to me

It could be Ai because I think this promo is recorded months ago.

we should not be surprised that some Nickelodeon Nick Jr and Nicktoons feeds use AI voices on some of their audio tracks it was already said that Paramount fired multiple people and replaced them with AI probably some of those people were the voice actors of some of those audio tracks

honestly I don't like these AI voices one bit they sound very unnatural and robotic to me they could at least try to make them sound more human

Sorry for only replying now. I don't think anyone copied Csaba Tokaji's voice. The recording simply sounds low quality. To me, it sounds as if it wasn't recorded in a proper studio, but rather at home, perhaps even using a phone.

Another reason I don't believe his voice was replicated is that I've spoken with him, and since March he has once again been under contract with Paramount (through a different studio, of course). According to him, every country is contracted through this third party company, which suggests that the use of AI was never intended to be permanent anywhere and was only a temporary measure during that one- or two-month period.

The AI issue has already been resolved. All countries have either already switched back to human narration or will do so in the very near future.

@BloggerHU Do you know the names of the Danish announcers for Nickelodeon, Nick Jr. and Nicktoons respectively?

Okay, that's good to know!

The low quality recordings have also been a problem on other audio tracks recently (namely German and Polish), and I'm not exactly sure what's causing that, though I also suspect it's due to them changing the recording location.

Nickelodeon Global Unlimited continuity in Czech from yesterday:


They removed the Sonic Prime promo, for some reason.

And even though what @BloggerHU said makes sense, I STILL believe that this announcer might be AI; the emphasis on certain words seems weird, and sometimes he just sounds robotic

 

[Zzman]

couldn't the low quality recording be also because of the audio mixing? i mean these automated feeds do have terrible audio mixing at times

well thats good but some of these real voice actors need to put a bit more energy instead of sounding bored all the time (i dont mean to get off topc but the English voice actor for the Spanish disney channel feeds also has this problem sometimes)

 

[RandomMe]

Does that mean they removed the show?

 

[Zzman]

Does that mean they removed the show?

i dont think so I'm pretty sure the show is still scheduled to come maybe there going to fix the error with the text

 

[L. Fox]

Nickelodeon LA is still airing the Sonic Prime promo, they removed the SpongeBob one instead

Wait a minute... Nicktoons Global with Polish CG text?

 

[idk_1141]

He take it from NickToons Poland feed because its HD and the Hungarian audio is still available.

 

[Zzman]

Nickelodeon Italy is airing some automated promos now


is nick jr doing the same @Francisque?

Yet they also brought back the ads, unlike in LatAm...

They have also changed the credits to work more like the Global one... I don't know what's happening.
I will check Nick Jr. Today

@LopezPoJ ? The ads never left, on Nickelodeon Italy.
And no more Now bumpers either

they're possibly gearing up for delocalization however I'm not sure because the schedule in July is still different with monster loving maniacs still spammed during the night

Delocalization ≠ no more local channel.

Which is to say likely the channels will likely continue act like their own channels, maybe even for a limited time, but will be managed by the global team.

This will probably something related to the upcoming loss of a local team following the closure of Super!, as I had expected

Likely if they will keep continuing with the style, soon they will shutdown the local feed in favour of the global one, despite no wonder how rumours of the Super! channel shutdown has been appeared recently.

Not to doubt due to continuous discussions regarding to the current WBD-Paramount merger, as expected...

like what Francisque sayed there not going to shut down it it's most likey just going to be handed over by a "global" team with some minor differences kind of like how mtv and Comedy Central Italy operate now

obviously because the Italian team is going away once super! closes
